Too PC for me.

Where in the OP do you see " outrage" you sniveling old bitch ?


"Annoying" is not synonomous with " outrage" .

If you are unclear with the definition of annoying - consult a mirror.

People who are simply annoyed don't start a whole  thread about it and then engage in vitriol fueled arguments about it, So this statement is bullshit 

[Angrboda]

My point is that the media ( in this case it was NPR) takes the whole gender issue to ridiculous levels.

Which is why I do not listen to NPR anymore. It's identity politics all day, every day, as if that's all anyone cares about.

Sounds like projection.

[The Architect Of Fate]

You watch Fox news huh?


Not me.


Not ever.

NPR... All the way.

Used to be on air...


Company loyalty dontcha know...

Then funny that bullshit you spew here could have come directly from Carlson Tucker's mouth. But that coincidence I'm sure

A rightwinger raving about identity politics. The irony here is hilarious

Do you ever hear things in the media that you just find annoying?

For me - few things beat the PC use of genderless terms - when it' s completely uncalled for - to wit -

"Pregnant people".

Fucking seriously?

"People"?

It’s weird how caring about other people’s experience is so annoying for you.

[LadyForCamus]

Yeah, I don't buy into the pronoun movement.

You don’t have to buy into it in order for it to mean something to other people. Your opinion is irrelevant.

[LadyForCamus]

I don't get it...

Do you accept trans identities?

If a transman was pregnant, would you insist on referring to him as a pregnant woman? Even though he's a man and is accepted in society as a man?

I don't understand the incredulity over one thing and not the other. Like, "Fine, you're a man. But if you get pregnant, you must be a woman."

I personally don't care about someone' s " identity" even when it falls clearly into conflict with basic biology.

You want me to call you "Stanley" - fine...

Hey Stanley - you' re getting quite the beer gut there......Pregnant???? ......

Ok Stanley -  whatever you say......


Just don' t expect an appology for the misunderstanding...

Obviously you haven’t looked at any recent neuroscientific research on the matter. Color me shocked if you don’t care to either.

Biker is the type of asshole who would call a guy with long hair a girl by mistake and then not apologize because he doesn't agree with guys wearing long hair.

Absolutely zero insight into other people and no tolerance for anybody's opinion but his own.

Go fuck yourself you angry old bitch. ( that IS the pronoun you assigned yourself - and as I recall you tried to stick on me.)

I have been called " miss" exactly BECAUSE I had hair down to my waist - and was not offended. I found the old gal's flustered look when I stood up and turned around - rather amusing.

Your citation is hardly indicative of anything. 99.999%  of the time when you see a pregnant " person" it' s GOING to be a " she".


Perhaps it' s different in your planet.

Well, if you don't care, then you might consider having a more understanding attitude. Think about it this way: isn't it weird that we resolve to treat people in a certain way and assign them social roles based on if they have a "long and dangly" swinging between their legs? But that's gender norms for you. Certain people don't want to conform to these norms. That's all.

I'm not applying social pressure or anything. (I think "social pressure" might be your real gripe anyway.) What I do is try to treat trans people with dignity and respect... including respecting their pronouns. I don't feel the need to buy into whatever pronoun package is being sold, nor am I offended by it. I just try to be decent toward everybody. I think a similar attitude might suit you, Biker.

You completely missed the point in the OP.

The point of the OP is that you’re a whiney little bitch. Good for you.

If you say so.

[LadyForCamus]

It's faux outrage.  If he doesn't read something that gets his undies in a bunch several times a day, he feels he's not doing his civic duty as a patriot.

Name calling is the first sign that you’re losing the argument, lol.
